[Research on Raman spectra quantitative analysis model of ethanol aqueous solution based on net analyte signal].

Raman spectroscopy technique could satisfy industrial field measurement requirements because of the advantages of rapidity and nondestructiveness. Thus, It has been widely used in a variety of quantitative and qualitative analysis fields. The volume ration of alcohol and water in alcoholic beverages, i. e. the ethanol content, is a key factor in the detection of the quality of wine products. The development of the detection system for quick, easy and real-time ethanol content measurement is of great significance for national production. In the present paper, net signal analysis method (NAS) was used in the ethanol content quantitative analysis of Raman spectra from the ethanol aqueous solution. The linear regression model was developed between the net signal of ethanol and its concentration. The results showed that the qualitative analysis method based on net signal analysis was superior to the traditional linear regression method such as the MLR method based on the feature peak intensity and the PLS model. It not only improved the prediction accuracy of the model but also enhanced the robustness of the model. Because the model established by the NAS-MLR method is simple and stable, it is possible to develop the portable measurement instruments in future.
